Are most of the latest hardware 64-bit ready? I am thinking of buying Vista
64-bit. Or should I stay with 32-bit?

Thank you;
David

The question is, will all my hardware support 64 bit?

Unless you tell us exactly what hardware you have there
is no way to answer that question. Vista 32 will run on
64 bit hardware but Vista 64 will not run on 32 bit
hardware. You may encounter problems finding
drivers for Vista 64 because Vista 64 requires that
all drivers be signed.

Examples of daily life for Vista 64 bit users. You should
really research each piece of hardware you plan to use.
For example, printing and scanning coverage can be weak.

There are reviews around as well, that will hit the high points.

Yes

No. Blaming the lack of 64 bit drivers on the signing requirement is crazy
talk.
